Yes, Torreys Peak is a mountain in Colorado. Yes, I have climbed it. But to me “Torrey Peake” just sounds like a bad porn name. I wonder if she’s as popular a climb in Milford as her namesake is here?

“I’m good? Really? I haven’t heard that sentence in 23 years.”
“Yup. My dad taught me to be a bratty diva to everyone I meet. Then I’ll learn that anyone doesn’t walk away from me in thirty seconds is good at tolerating whiny bitches.”
“Well, I do put up with Steve Luhm.”

Sorry about the “obnoxious mountain” comment in the last thread. I should have said this “Torrey Peak” is an obnoxious mountain of s%&t.
Anyway, Gil hasn’t heard the comment “you’re good” from Mimi since their wedding night and Mimi was drunk then.
“I wonder if she’s as popular a climb in Milford as her namesake is here?” Think about it Jason, she goes to Catholic school. (And before anyone gets on me, we had three pregnancies in my school and that was in 1973!!!! We’re all as easy as an Easy Bake Oven!)

The only thing that would make this storyline interesting is if this snotty bitch hustles Marty Moon and Gil out of their beer money.

7/17 P3-We have some scary shadow people in the background. The one in the hat appears to have developed a camel hump. In addition to being able to hide in the dark he can go long periods of time without drinking
7/19 P3-That guy in the background needs some serious help with his follow through. I hope he isn’t one of the pros Gil was talking about.

I hate this plot already. I hate Torrey Peake and I hate her Dad. (Yeah, be a pushy snot to people when you first meet them. I wonder how that works out with the sisters at St. Fabians…not that I have any idea what Catholic school is like or if they even have nuns teaching these days…in my mind, the teachers are mean bullies in habits like the one from the Blues Brothers.)
I think Gil’s kind of getting a chubby here, based on some catholic school girl fantasies he’s always entertained. Look at him fingering the shaft and employing all kinds of naughty golfing double entendre. No not really, he’s getting a chubby because he’s found a pushy kid to palm off the rest of this charity youth golf camp thing on so he go get wasted.

Panel three – Hey, that kid in the background is mocking Gil! See how he’s got his hat pulled down over his eyes? He’s just waving that club around and saying, “Duuuh, I’m Gil Thorp! Raise your hand if you’ve played golf before! Duuuh!”
That kid is my new favorite character.

Marty is still dumb enough to play for money.
As stupid as Gil is, I don’t think he would risk playing a teenager, even one from another school, for money.
He might bet that if he can beat her, she has to become a “volunteer” coach for some horde of urchins.

Tough to blame Torrey for not taking Gil’s instruction seriously. She might have been 7 years old at the time, but she remembers when he last played golf. 145′s are tough to forget.
Heck, Torrey’s 71 is better than former collegiate golfer Mimi’s regular score at Milford CC.
We need a Rien DeJong cameo…

1. Regina: You failed gym? Wear it proudly! While it is physically healthy to get exercise it is so emotionally unhealthy for the poor kids who were overweight or skinny and who weren’t through puberty. Those through it still were insecure so they lorded it over the have nots. And the gym teachers usually had their own self esteem issues they took out on us kids. I was genetically lucky but I felt for those that weren’t.
As for character choice for this summer’s “taxi zum klo” – again Rube-Rube picks a toolish young woman [like Cassie] who in some faint way will receive some kind of comeupance but remain a douche nonetheless. Ennui ensues. Memo to Neil: why not try an altruistic character who helps a douche see the light [and bollix that story line up too]? Or how about a poor student who has a gender identity crisis and leads Milford to the football playdowns as one sex and the basketball playdowns as the opposite sex? C’mon dude how about some creativity here?

Thanks for those flashbacks Billy. What is Gil doing teaching kids to play golf? He’s terrible! Ok kids, now we’re going to learn how to hit the ball into the woods. There, now everyone go lok for it. Whoever finds it can run to the beer cart and fetch me a cold one.

i wonder if they will be on the golf course the rest of the summer. maybe gil gets torrey a fake id and gets her into the 19th hole
Comment by mr120zcan — July 19, 2010 @ 2:31 pm
But there’s nobody better at playing the 19th hole than Gil. He’s the ideal person to teach that.
Comment by Wikitorix — July 19, 2010 @ 2:32 pm
Damn, I know absolutely NOTHING about golf and I know a 145 is lousy. I think Gil took this job for the free drinks after he gets someone else (Hint: Torrey the bitch) to do his job.
Comment by Regina — July 19, 2010 @ 6:03 pm
I know nothing about golf either, but I resemble your remarks about catholic school girls being easier than an easy bake oven Regina!
LMAO!
Here’s a plot for us: Torrey (Amy Fisher) seduces Gil (Joey Buttaficko (sp?)), yada yada, Torrey shoots Mimi, etc.
Possibilities = endless
Boredom = 0

I think the bitch Torrey Peake has a personality so similar to Marty Moon that she and Moon will try and get Moon’s gof course revenge against Ben Franklin and, oh hell I don’t know… Von Haney, how bout dat?
Comment by Sgt Saunders — July 19, 2010 @ 8:18 pm
A douchebag brother. Yeah, that really sweetens the deal.
Comment by Ned Ryerson — July 20, 2010 @ 9:06 am
LOL Gilsbarber.
Today’s strip: Will someone please translate what in Clambake hell Gil’s talking about? Isn’t Torrey’s last name Peake? Why is he calling her Torrey Pines? Is this some weird code?
Comment by Regina — July 20, 2010 @ 11:00 am
Regina, Torrey Pines and Kemper Lakes are two famous golf courses. Gil is noting that golf brat and her brother are named after these courses. This is even more evidence that these kids have uber-douche parents.
Comment by Ned Ryerson — July 20, 2010 @ 11:24 am
Ned: As Edith Bunker would say Ohhhhhhhhhh.
And you’re right about the parents being total dickwads. I have a feeling they’ll make Big Ray look like Ward Cleaver.

Cue the porn music. Dear Penthouse forum: I am a coach at a small fictional high school. I never thought I would write you, but I never thought this would happen to me …
Boom chacka Boom chacka Brown Cow!
